Dreadful service, staff are so rude and rush you the entire process. Chicken is tasty but they put so little in the wrap it’s basically just vegetables.

As a local nearby resident and personal trainer I’m always on the look out for food that is good value but also nutritious. Fortunately I am pleased to say Katsu Wraps delivers on this front! You get man sized portions (essential for me when I’m working out and then coaching clients most of the day.) Not only do you get a generous amount of chicken (whether katsu or breast) you also get a generous amount of salad ingredients and the food is always freshly prepared and delicious. Most importantly it’s very good value, especially when compared to the food markets next door that sell fancy street food that is more expensive by comparison but doesn’t allow me to hit my protein goals. If you want amazingly fresh prepared food, I can vouch for Katsu wraps as I’ve been pretty much at least a weekly customer since mid 2019. Fresh, made on the spot with top quality ingredients. Can’t go wrong.

The wrap is refreshing and filling. The combination of crunchy veggies topped with a layer of crispy chicken and hummus/Chilli oil wrapped in a toasty pita wrap is really a treat for lunch time meals. Value for money for the quantity they provide.

Used to be great, but doubling in price and halving in size over 2 years - Sort your life out - You have a lot of competition on your doorstep

Home of the World Famous (in the City) Asian Boss Lady who runs the fastest, most ruthless and most efficient food stall on the planet. Toyota and McDonalds could learn a few things regarding production efficiency and raw speed in manufacturing processes on display here. Please make sure you know what to order (the correct answer is 'chicken katsu wrap', which is 90% of their business) before approaching or you *will* get yelled at. Do it right and you have a delicious katsu wrap with everything on it in under 15 seconds.

As an extremely picky and fussy eater, I rarely buy food from outside and prefer to cook food at home. But I'm glad I discovered this place. The stall in Goulston Street during weekday lunchtimes, and the shop in Toynbee Street are my ''go-to,'' places when I'm pushed for time during lunch hours. The staff are incredibly friendly, welcoming and deliver fast service. At the street food stall, I never get tired of the co-owner, a charming Malaysian lady telling ''lucky number!!!'' to calm out the staff to make their most popular wrap which is so huge and fat I feel full just by looking at it! It's a very popular meal among hard working City Boys as the neighbourhood of Spitalfields overlaps London's financial district. Whenever the lady sees me, she asks '' Duck? '' which is the followed by her shouting '' for our neighbour... I want small pieces, cut small" etc, much to the amusement of other customers. I like duck, or sometimes their matsu chicken cut into small pieces, then sprinkled with a bit of thinly diced carrots, watercress, a splash of houmous and a bit of chilli seeds without the oil - all in a tight wrap. Slimline and compact as I don't like having large meals like all my neighbours and locals seem to enjoy stuffing their faces with! They make my wrap remarkably well, just so! And it's so delicious. You should try their barbecue chicken as well. As someone who works with local community organisations, local businesses and is part of local societies and groups, I spread the word and now, many locals go here. They love it! Sometimes, local businesses but several wraps for their staff. I wish this place was also open during the weekends. Slowly but steadily, I think I'm becoming addicted to their food!
